Offensive Anti-Surface Warfare (OASuW) Weapon Increment II
Abstract
Update of Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) for OASuW Inc. II capabilities. The Next Generation Strike Capability (NGSC) strategy will address future threats in time to replace or update legacy weapons while bringing next generation technology to Department of the Navy (DoN) standoff conventional strike (Land Attack & ASuW). Within NGSC, OASuW Inc. II will be an offensive weapon system that can be air launched to address 2024 and beyond threat. To the maximum extent possible, the Navy will utilize common components and component technologies (e.g. navigation; communications; seeker; guidance and control) to reduce cost, shorten development timelines, and promote interoperability. The program is part of the Navy's Integrated Fire Control (IFC) approach to address advanced threat capabilities in the Anti-Access/Area-Denial (A2AD) environment. IFC solutions enable individual system capabilities to be leveraged across an effects chain, placing the full spectrum of tactical capability in the hands of the warfighter. IFC solutions that push engagement distances beyond the launch platform's radar horizon and allows the U.S. Navy to operate in, and control, contested battle space in littoral waters and A2/AD environments are increasingly critical as more and more scenarios require compressed and coordinated fire control timelines.
